Shiro Cosmetics - Bought and Lip Swatches

Not new. I bought these many months ago and didn't find time to blog about them. That was about the time I was insanely in love with the Hunger Games trilogy, and I decided to purchase the Tributes Collection from Shiro. Shiro Cosmetics (link) is an 'indie' brand which makes collections base on nerdy topics. My favourite is of course, the Tributes/ Hunger Games, and the Super Effective/ Pokemon!

They also do very pigmented and glossy lipsticks called Intertubes, and for testing purpose I purchased three more wearable shades. They are lovely. In this post, I'm gonna show their swatches. *lip swatches!*

Eyeshadow swatches will come soon. For someone without a good artificial 'studio' lighting set-up, I want to utilise natural lighting to the best but glorious Sun is not my best friend. :S

Things I got:

I paid for everything except for the 3 eyeshadow samples in bags, and the 2 candies. :)

Intertubes/ Lip Swatch:

If you can't tell from the above, two of them are creamier than the remaining one, Leeroy Jenkins and Over 9000 do not have shimmer, just creme-sheen-satin like. Nyan Cat has a frost finish.

Leeroy Jenkins - "from web: Pale pinky-lavender (similar to the text color used for the Paladin class) with subtle blue interference and gold sparks." The gold sparks are not noticeable. It looks very cool on me. Must be worn with something else, or for special make up.Nyan Cat - "from web: Pink rose with gold shimmer." Very accurate. It is most wearable of the 3 on me, but I prefer its left-over stain + gloss over it. Over 9000 - "from web: Bold pink, a shade or two darker than bubblegum. You'll want to wear it at least 9001 times."
